A loan helped a member to buy vegetables, oil, flour, meat, breads, spices, eggs, among other more products.


Mujeres Unidas Group's story

The group is formed by 19 women, heads of family, who struggle for their loved ones in order to give them what they could not have. They are within the program of poverty elimination where all of them struggle to be able to progress and move ahead.
One of them is Gessica who is the mother of two children. She mentions that her husband also works and this is the way they help each other with household income.
She works selling meals of all kinds which she makes herself, and she comments that she is doing very well and has set customers who always order from her, because everything she prepares is delicious and her clients like it.
She is happy for the opportunity she receives to invest in her business and improve it, and with this to continue helping her loved ones.
She is requesting this loan to buy raw materials to prepare her products, such as vegetables, oil, flour, meat, breads, spices, eggs, among more other products.
